Seriously. It takes me a dozen matchup tries before I find a team that’s not all Pyskers. Or give us the dang option to preselect our matchup options. Really, no will mind waiting a minute or two to find a compatible team instead of leaving and loading a dozen times to find a semi-balanced team!
Edit: Updated title and adding thoughts now that I am less annoyed.
Primary issue above all else is the crap matchmaking stacking classes when it just doesn’t need happen. With 10k-20k constant concurrent players (not even including gamepass and xbox players) there is no reason this should be happening this much! (and by much I mean pretty much literally every dang time!)
Matchmaking is what is desperately needed to be improved more than anything else. Please fatshark stop making us HAVE to reload back to mourningstar half a dozen times before we finally find a team that is not just full of the exact same class!
I really question what team you’re getting because I am personally inundated with zealots.
Actually, are you also playing Psyker? Because matchmaking is bonkers and tends to make VERY messed up teams where the class you play is already present in two of the other slots.
I main pysker. Yes, but I also have the same issue with all the other classes. I rarely match without two of the same class with me. (me being the third)
It has always been weird like this. But is has been really REALLY bad lately. Pyskers are worst for me though. There must be an influx from hell of them because when I play mine I have to literally try half a dozen times before I hit a none quad of pysker team…
Ive been noticing a wholeeee lot of psykers lately as well. If it isnt psykers then it’s zealots. Imo ogryn is the strongest class rn which i oddly see the least. But yeah I’d be interested to see the pick rates of the class currently. Definitely feels skewed towards psyker. I dont want them nerfed though. I want matchmaking to rrtry and fill team slots with different classes instead
Sorry, maybe nerf was a bit harsh. I’m just frustrated. If they could set the matchmaking algorithm to try for a equal class balance first for 10 seconds, failing that, then 10 seconds with one pair, failing that then 3 of the same class, and then dead last allowing a full quad of the same class… just 30 seconds max at worse case and I think most players would happily take for better balanced teams.
having played zealot, psykter and veteran, i can agree
playing zealot makes level 5 missions feel like level 3 missions
psykter is a good second for different reasons, your squish but. if nothing can touch you or your team, who cares
even tho i haven’t played ogren, i would say ogren is third on my list, followed by veteran
i hate veteran. playing veteran sucks, i would rather play a level 2 ogren then my level 30 veteran
wow you don’t even have the courage to make a counter argument against zealot’s just being the best, says allot,
i don’t blame you it would be hard to argue against a character that can quite literally solo kill any level 5 bosses while barely loosing any health for it
granted, i think theirs a pretty nutty setup with the veteran and the bolter or something like that? it might be able to solo kill a level 5 boss
i saw a guy on YouTube one tapping the “weakened” versions with that setup
also psykers can just turn 90% of the enemies into a dance party for 90% of the time
or place a giant bubble that protect their entire team from gunners. what does your veteran bring to the team?
picking up downed players instantly
doing damage to the big bosses (krak grandees bolter setup whatever)
and replenishing the teams toughness
ok veteran is a squishy support character that is arguably worse then the psyker and can be used in less situations, their toughness regen abilities might be the most useful thing you can do as a veteran most of the time
your just telling the OP to take the L? what? are you even on about? why are they taking the L? they are saying psykers are too strong, normally when players complain about things being too strong it is because, they are not struggling in the game IE they are good at the same
Vet felt kinda weird for me around Patches 13 and 14. I’ve been away from home for a while, so I haven’t gotten to try Patch 15 just yet, but I’ve heard arguments saying it’s been nerfed to Hel and others saying it’s broken. I’ll have to wait and see if they’ve really fixed any of the issues that I noticed.
Try the Hybrid Ogryn setup. Zealot is really busted, but nothing even comes close to walking up to 5-6 gunners and just stabbing them to death one by one while the others are shooting you with Ogryn.
the problem is not vet being strong or weak, the problem is vet needing 22 skill points just to reach the bottom of the tree when you go straight down, while also having skills all over the place that pretty much makes it impossible for you to get to the skills without picking up 10 perks that you don’t want to begin with
with that being said you wont be able to reach half of the perks you want anyone because you don’t have enough skill points to get through your tree
most characters in the game need 19 skill points to reach the bottom, AND have less perks AND the perks are in places that make more sense
this means every character, other then veteran, has a wonderful happy time with their skill tree, while vet just gets slapped in the face
they added keystones but they didn’t really make it any easier for you to get to the keystones at all, which ends up locking you into “middle, left, right” skill trees with little to no interchangeability between abilities, auras and keystones
